Re-Orientalisms Meditations on exoticism and transcendence, Otherness and the Self: Tabish Khair; IndexOrientalism refers to the imitation of aspects of Eastern cultures in the West, and was devised in order to have authority over the Orient. The concept of Re-Orientalism maintains the divide between the Orient and the West. However, where Orientalism is based on how the West constructs the East, Re-Orientalism is grounded on how the cultural East comes to terms with an orientalised East.This book explores various new forms, objects and modes of circulation that sustain this renovated form of Orientalism in South Asian culture.
